Every room, each color

The difference

Read from the numbers

Silver Satin is the lighter of the two at LRV 74.9, 16.7 points above Repose Gray at LRV 58.22. Both read warm. Repose Gray is a beige, Silver Satin a white. For a whole room, Silver Satin is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Repose Gray is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

Repose Gray (SW 7015) is the gray for people who want gray — not greige — but don't want it cold. A quiet warm undertone keeps it from going icy, while it still reads more gray than beige. LRV sits around 58.

Silver Satin is the quiet professional of the off-white world — soft, low-chroma, and just warm enough to never read as stark. In a north-facing room it settles into a calm greige; in afternoon sun it lifts to a clean, milky white without ever turning yellow.
